FAIR PLAY.
By j. E. Rudisill.

In the Standard of last week appears
an article, criticising ministers, who are
unwise and ill-tempered in their pulpit
utterances. think the facts in the case,
will except Rev. Gambler, of Nashville,
from your structures. DIR. Buckley of the
'New York Advocate" says: Rev. Gambler
is one of the most vigorous, intelligent,
and discriminating of the ministers in
Nashville. He also says: "Miss Abbott's
interruption was a brazen performance
on par with various advertising lodges
now common" Bishop McTeire, of the
M. E. Church South, to which Church
Mr.. G. belongs, warmly endorses his
course, and says: Miss Abbott should be
idicted, for interrupting congregation
while engaged in Christian worship" The
Official Board of MKendree Chapel
where the interruption took place, held a
meeting, in which they heartily endorsed
Mr.. Gamblers sermon, on "The moral in
fiuence of the Theater." They adopted
the following among other resolutions on
the subject:
8. That our indignation at the violation
of propriety and the law of the land by
an actress who interrupted the religious
services at M'Kendree Church on Sunday
last is enhanced by the dagrantly false
accounts which have been sent forth by
the press dispatches in relation to the
matter. There might have been few
persons in the rear of the congregation
who were in sympathy with the offender,
but so far from applauding her conduct
the evident feeling of the congregation
was that of indignation, mingled with
disgust. The Christian and dignified
bearing of our pastor on the occasion met
our unqualified approval.
Mr.. Gambler has also been endorsed in
his course, by several conferences in the
South. This would not be done, if he
were any other than true Christian
gentleman. I have no more sympathy
than yourself, with men who degrade the
sacred calling of the ministry.

If it's "Free Trade"-lets trade Democratic

That's right, Mr.. President! Martyrdom is
noble.
The South wants pauper labor-hence Grover
Cleveland is Free Trader.
Justice is perhaps always blindfolded SO she
can't see men weigh themselves.

Another Fire.

The fire that broke out in Sternberger
Bros. Clothing Store the other day, did no
damage. They had been unpacking a
large shipment of very attractive styles
in Mems and Boys suits, over coats, hats,
underwear, over shirts, furnishing goods,
&C., and the papers and wrappings took
fire just after they had been gathered up
and put into the stove. This, however,
has nothing to do with the fact that they
are the biggest bargains in southern
Ohio. Call on them. Corner opposite
Court House.

Bro. Rudisill agrees with us in deplor-
ing the existence of unwise and ill-tem-
pered preachers. We trust that Rev.
Gambler is not one of these. 1t should be
remembered that we did not advocate the
moral effect of the theater as an institu-
tion, but compared the better class of act
ors with the poorer grade of clowns,
and the latter suffers by the comparison.
A Minister who uses unwise and ILL
tempered remarks in the pulpit, is not
profitable servant, in that capacity.

COL. HANCOCK.

The following letter written by Mrs.
Edith Hancock was read at the late re-
union of the 10Th regiment at Waterloo:
To the Members of the 18th Regt.,
Wis. Vol. nfantry-MY DEAR FRIENDS:
In imagination / see you gathered to-day,
the surviving members of the brave old
29th.
Nv thoughts 60 back to day in July
twenty-five years ago, when L saw you
march into the park at Madison, there to
disband and return to your loved ones.
Three wears before you had gone out to
war so full of hope, with. flags flying and
drums beating; your history will tell how
many of those brave men fell in battle, or
endured (what was more hard) sickness
in camp, and closed their eyes in death
far from the dear old home.
IF in the spirit world the roll should be
called to-day, [ think there would be more
of your number to respond than would
answer if all the living were with you in
Waterloo.
How little did you think the 9th of last
September that before another year had
passed your colonel would be called to
ioin the unseen multitude. [ recall with
how much pleasure he made preparations
to attend your last reunion; how delight
ed he was with its success, and how he
looked forward to this meeting, saying,
1--WE must all 90 with him." 1t does not
seen possible that the grass and flowers
have been growing above his grave for
three long months. If our loved ones
are permitted to know of the pleasant
things occurring in this life, | am sure
that he knows of your gathering to-day.
[ need not tell you how bravely and pa
tiently my husband bore all the pains of
his long illness, always cheerful, never a
complaint, never question why he should
suffer. AS he was to his soldiers, so he
was in his famil y-loving, tender and
true. We have only the most pleasant,
Joyous memories OF him.
We regret that we cannot be with you
to-day. My daughter wishes me to say
to you how much she enjoyed the reunion
last year; how thankful that she could
be present in company with her father.
[ hope my boy is with you. You will
welcome him for his fathers sake. He
loved you all and had only words of praise
for you always. He felt that no Wiscon-
sin regiment performed its duty more
faithfully than the gallant 10Th. "The
half was never told"
This ''memoriam" [ have had printed
particularly for the members of the regi-
ment. The words it contains are more
fitting than any can write. Please ac-
| cept it with the assurances of esteem and
friendship from the children and myself.
God bless you all. May you hold
many more reunions ia this world, and
when the last roll is called may you all
be found in that Heavenly Home where
parting is unknown.
Very sincerely yours,
EDITH G.. HANCOCK.

AGAINST HIGGINSISM.

The late Vice-President Hendricks,
only few weeks before bis death, said
that he thought he saw "the formation of
a Mugwump element in Democracy"
Mr.. Hendricks was himself a spokesman,
and made his Indiana campaign radiant
with promises of "at least $4,000 places
which ought to be filled by Democrats, .
but be was a very shrewd prognosticator
for all that. 1t was he who, in 1874, plain
" told his Bourbon constituents F'it is time
to turn your backs upon the pasta les
son so far in advance of their capabilities
that they have not learned it to this day,
Events in Maryland are iustifying the
dead mans foresight The open declara-
ton of Mr.. John Cowen to the Repub-
Iican convention of Maryland that, with
out ceasing to be a Democrat" he would
aid, as would many other Independent
Democrats, in the election of the Repub-
lican state ticket, as protest against
Gormanism, Higginsism, and all the other
impure agencies which the Federal adj
ministration has set to work in Maryland
Democratic politics. Mr.. Cowen voices
the sentiment which so moved the better
element in the Democracy of Kentucky
as to greatly reduce the usual majority OF
that state; the same sentiment will make
itself felt in Indiana.
But if the uncleanness of Mr.. Cleve-
lands appointees drives decent Demo
Gratis to revolt, is it reasonable to expect
that the Republican Mugwumps can con
tinue in support of him?-Chic Jour.

great deal of regret, as he has endeared
himself to all of our people by his quail

NEW YORK WORLD: IF the Democrat
ic party had its way all these pledges
would be redeemed. 1t is due to stupid
or selfish leaders that they have been
broken. Nothing has been done. The
surplus is increasing. Taxation is not
reduced. The tariff has not been revised.
There have been too much promise and
too little practice: too much sham and
too little real reform. Corporate abuses
have been allowed to continue, and fraud
has not been vigorously exposed and
sternly punished. The party is not re-
sponsible for all this, but the incapable
temporary leaders are.

EARLY TIMES TALK.-The correspon-
dent to The Sentinel says:
Among the pleasing features of the en-
campment just closed was the renewal of
an old friendship between Gov. Rusk and
Lieut.. H. P. Palmer, of Beaver Dam, who
was one of the drivers for the Wisconsin
Stage company when Jerry Rusk refined
in the leaders of the four-horse stages on
the old line from Milwaukee to Ocono-
mowoc and WATERFOWL, along in 1852
and SO. The hair of each of the old-tlme
heroes is a little silvery, but their hearts
are as warm as ever, and it was interest
ing to hear them talk of the early days.

EX-CoNGREssMAN WILLIS, of Ken
lucky, says that the result of the election
in that state was caused by the young
men VINO had become tired of voting for
the old rebel soldiers, and who had deter
mined to give notice that they considered
the war as over. When the South admits
that the war is over, the North will glad
~ concede the same fact, but as long as
the main recommendation for candidate
at the South is that "he fit into the wah, !"
the North must hold its loyalty ready for
the conflict.
